Panoramic view of Yosemite Valley showing granite cliffs, waterfalls, and autumn foliage under a clear blue sky.

This view of both Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls was taken in May 2023 after a very wet spring season. The water was flowing rapidly over the falls. I am told that later in the season the water flow can almost dry up.



To get a sense of scale of these massive waterfalls, notice the traffic parked along the road.
